New Medicare Changes in 2026: Prior Approval Required for These 17 Services Starting Jan 1, 2026, Medicare will require prior authorization for 17 procedures in six states: Arizona, New Jersey, Ohio, Oklahoma, Texas, and Washington. The WISeR program aims to cut waste, reduce...

Next year, Medicare will have a six-state pilot program subjecting 17 medical procedures to prior authorization-which can be denied and the patient will have to pay out of pocket.

What would stop universal healthcare from doing that with other procedures?

Yes!!!!

I can’t describe how angry I got reading this. What are you going to do to me if I don’t? (last sentence written in sarcasm font.)

According to the Parnas Perspective, Trump will be making a “major defense related announcement” at 2 p.m. I’m guessing that he’s either invading Venezuela or Chicago.

Be safe.

Nope. He will answer to a higher authority.

This is about a pilot program using AI to make decisions about what Medicare will cover.

My husband’s on Medicare. I will be in a few years. We’re applying for Medicaid for our son. This story nearly broke me.

THIS IS where I vent my anger!! I don’t have a lot of people IRL to discuss my concerns with.

I am angry. And I am tired.

The cartoonist is ignoring the fact that Trump and Putin were discussing Ukraine’s future WITHOUT UKRAINE AT THE TABLE. #Ukraine

Wait, HOW can RFK Jr. bar scientists from publishing??

I have heard that the 747 is being gifted to the Department of Defense. Does that still violate the Constitution or cause other ethical concerns?

I find it interesting that you can determine my entire understanding of history based on my opinion of Clinton’s impeachment.
For the record, I also believe Trump should have been impeached.

Nope. Clinton committed perjury. He should have been impeached. I believe perjury falls under “high crime and misdemeanor”.

Agreed

Clinton committed perjury and he *should* have been impeached. What I resent is that the same party that excoriated him for his behavior turned right around and excused the SAME behavior in Trump.

Let’s see: RFK Jr. wants an autism registry and the White House is thinking about a baby bonus to encourage people to have kids.

Who else is hearing “Amerika Uber Alles” right now?

And this is supposed to be the account that represents the White House. How many people are looking at this and rolling their eyes?

And most of us can't get more than a 30-day supply of meds unless their insurance says so!

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Which is it, RFK Jr.? Thoughts of an imperfect follower of a perfect God.
